About 280 Sutton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in February 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 sits 80.7% above the 2007 sale of £207,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 37.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 280 Sutton Road is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3AJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 280 Sutton Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 280 Sutton Road was lodged in August 2023 at band C and is valid until August 2033. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 280 Sutton Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from WS5 3AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 280 Sutton Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
